IPC: C10G2/00
Filed: 2003-10-16
Abstract: A catalyst and method for producing hydrocarbons using a catalyst support having an improved hydrothermal stability, such as under Fischer-Tropsch synthesis conditions. The stabilized support is made by a method comprising treating a boehmite material in contact with at least one structural stabilizer. Contacting the boehmite with at least one structural stabilizer can include forming a mixture comprising the boehmite material and at the least one structural stabilizer. The mixture can be a sol or a slurry. The treating preferably includes drying or spray drying the mixture, and calcining in an oxidizing atmosphere to obtain the stabilized support. Preferred structural stabilizers can include an element, such as cobalt, magnesium, zirconium, boron, aluminum, barium, silicon, lanthanum, oxides thereof, or combinations thereof; or can include precipitated oxides, such as a co-precipitated silica-alumina.

Title: Image projector with flexible reflective analog modulator
Inventor: SAVARD MAXIME
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 2005-05-13
Abstract: An image projector comprises a plurality of flexible reflective analog modulators (FRAMs), an illumination optics for focusing at least one light source thereon, a conversion optics for converting the variations in divergence of the beams reflected therefrom into variations in intensity, and a scanning mechanism coupled to a projection optics for displaying an image, constructed of intensity modulated light dots or pixels, on a screen.      FRAM curvatures, responsible for determining the divergence of the reflected beams, and ultimately the intensity of each pixel, are varied by an actuation voltage that can be modulated using waveforms that minimize the FRAM response times. For multicolour images, three laser light sources operating at different wavelengths are used in conjunction with three linear FRAM arrays.

Abstract: The invention relates to a corn grain-flavouring method. The inventive method consists in creating a hypersaturated brine in a suitably-sized container, using a mixture of water and sodium chloride in suitable quantities in relation to the amount of corn to be treated. The corn grain is then introduced into the aforementioned brine and maintained thus for a period of time necessary in order for the corn to absorb all of the brine. Next, the corn is dried, by spreading same over perforated trays and applying hot air, until the original moisture level of the corn grains is obtained.  Subsequently, once the corn has been dried, a surface coating is applied to the grains using a food fixative, such as, for example, a food lacquer and, finally, the corn is packaged.
